Aaron Rodgers Honored at the NFL Honors Event

Green Bay Packers QB AARON RODGERS’ incredible Hail Mary pass during the Week 13 Green Bay Packers - Detroit Lions game was the BRIDGESTONE PERFORMANCE PLAY OF THE YEAR. The award was announced tonight at NFL HONORS – a two-hour primetime awards show that will air nationally tonight at 9 PM ET/PT on CBS.

The Bridgestone Performance Play of the Year was selected from 20 Performance Moments voted on by NFL fans on NFL.com.

On the eve of Super Bowl 50, the NFL and THE ASSOCIATED PRESS announced their annual accolades in an awards show saluting the best players, performances and plays from the 2015 season. CONAN O’BRIEN, Emmy award-winning comedian and late night talk show host, hosted the show and many of the winners were on hand to accept their awards.

The newest PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME class was announced and introduced during the show with the Class of 2016 appearing on stage at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.
